Specifying Printer Driver Settings
====================================================================

< Opening the Printer Driver Setup Window >

  - Opening the window from your application
    The typical way to open the printer driver from your application
    is to select [File]-[Page Setup] and click [Printer], or select
    [File]-[Print...] and click [Properties].

  - Opening the window directly
    To specify a regularly-used setup or to access your printer's
    maintenance functions, use the procedure below. 

    1) From the [Start] menu, select [Control Panel]-[Printers and 
       Other Hardware]-[Printers and Faxes].
    2) Click the icon of the printer model to be used.
    3) From the [File] menu, select [Printing Preferences].

     Note:
     Do not change the settings on the [Advanced] tab, which is
     displayed when the printer driver setup screen is opened
     from [Properties].
     If you change any of the settings, some of the functions may
     become disabled and you will not be able to use them.

< Using the Printer Driver >

When printing something with this printer driver, restrictions on
what you can do sometimes apply. Keep the following points in mind
when printing:

  - With certain applications, the paper feed method that was set
    with the printer driver may not operate properly.
    In that case, set the paper feed method with the Page Setup or
    other appropriate function of the application software.

  - With certain applications, the [Copies] setting is non-effective
    when setting is attempted from the printer driver. 
    In that case, specify the setting in the applications' [Print]
    dialog box.

  - If the selected [Language] in the [About] dialog box does not
    match the operating system interface language, the driver screen
    may not be displayed properly.

  - Do not change the [Advanced] tab items of the printer properties.
    If you change any of the items, you will not be able use the
    following functions correctly.
    Also, if [Output to File] is selected in the [Print] dialog box of
    the application software and with applications that prohibit EMF
    spooling, such as Adobe PhotoShop LE and MS Photo Editor,
    the following functions will not operate.
    - [Preview before printing] on the [Main] tab
    - [Reduce spool data size] in the [Print Options] dialog box
    - [Page Layout Printing], [Poster Printing], [Booklet Printing],
      [Duplex Printing] (manually), [Print from Last Page], and
      [Collate] on the [Page Setup] tab

  - Since the resolution in the preview display differs from the
    printing resolution, text and lines in the preview display may
    appear different from the actual print result.

  - In some applications, the printing is divided into multiple
    jobs. To prohibit printing, delete all divided jobs.

  - For details on functions related to Windows XP or Windows 2000,
    see the corresponding user's manual.

< Using the IrDA interface and the Bluetooth option >

Some printer models can use the IrDA interface and the Bluetooth option.
Keep the following points in mind when using these interfaces:

  - When printing via the IrDA interface, functions that rely on 
    bi-directional communication do not work.
    Thus any message related to these functions, for example 
    "Paper Out", will not be shown in the IJ Status Monitor.

  - When using the Bluetooth option, keep the following points in 
    mind.
    - If you perform one of the actions listed below, the print job 
      may not end and "Printing" may remain displayed on the status
      monitor even after printing ends and the printout is ejected.
      If this happens, either click the [Cancel Printing] button on
      the Status Monitor or cancel that print job from the print job
      queue of the printer.
      - If you move the printer during printing to a location where
        radio waves cannot reach or if the radio wave status becomes
        poor
      - If you turn off the printer

    - If you cancel printing after a printer error occurs, you may not
      be able to execute subsequent printing operations. If this
      happens, turn off the printer and turn it back on again.

    - With some printer models, you cannot use the operation panel
      on the printer while the status monitor is displayed from 
      [View Printer Status...] on the [Maintenance] tab.
